Just before Thanksgiving last year, my wonderful wife and I returned from a two-week cruise. If you’ve never been on one, it’s a wonderful experience, very relaxing and refreshing. But beware of the food – there’s way too much of it, it’s always available in massive quantities, and it’s delicious.
My being will power challenged and the fact that you could get multiples of everything significantly contributed to an expanded girth. I was to the point where it actually felt like my skin hurt from being stretched.
So shortly after Thanksgiving, the diet commenced. I suppose it was something akin to a Weight Watcher’s hybrid. If my wife didn’t serve it, I didn’t eat it. In the last 5 months I’ve gradually lost 30 pounds and this morning I broke through the 200lb barrier and checked-in at 199.
I’m so proud of myself. Unfortunately, my golf game has gone South, due largely to the change in my body size and shape. Oh well - guess I'll just have to practice and play more and get my game back in shape.
